This is such an addictive series that continues to get better and better.
With one old missing child case perhaps solved, another one occurs with eerie similarities to the first. Nine-year-old Keeley Armitage disappears after being left outside a market while older sister Jodie goes in for a quick shop. Then comes the call no parent wants to receive: a ransom call. DCI Matilda Darke and her Homicide and Major Enquiries Team are called in to help the family. When the kidnappers fail to call again, the focus shifts to trying to determine who would abduct her and for what reason.
Wood doesn't seem to hesitate to kill off characters so every time a character's life is in danger the reader is left holding their breath to see if he will do it again. This makes a dangerous situation even more suspenseful and adds to the tension. Always a dark, twisty read, this series ratchets up the life-or-death situations for Darke and her team as well as the crime victims--there aren't always happy endings. If you like a good police procedural with excellent characters and plots, try this series; it's excellent.
